1. A work vehicle including an automatic steering function that causes the work vehicle to automatically travel on a path, the work vehicle comprising:
a controller configured or programmed to define and function as:
a setting module to enable and disable the automatic steering function;
an executing module to execute the automatic steering function when the setting module enables the automatic steering function; and
a determining module to determine whether a steering operation of the work vehicle is performed by a worker; and
an interruption button to interrupt the automatic steering function; wherein
the executing module cancels the automatic steering function, when the determining module determines that the steering operation is performed during the execution of the automatic steering function, without the interruption button being actuated;
the executing module suspends the automatic steering function, when the determining module determines that the steering operation is performed with the interruption button being actuated, and resumes the automatic steering function after the interruption button is no longer actuated; and
the interruption button is not capable of being used to perform the steering operation.
